Christina Litoshenko joined the discussion on behalf of the Directorate for Human Rights, access to justice and legal awareness of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine to address issues of common interest.
During the discussion, UNBA representatives outlined the preconditions for establishing an independent bar in Ukraine and the basics of its functioning. Of particular interest to the representatives of the foreign delegation was the optimization of the organizational work of the advocates in the e-cabinet and the openness of Ukrainian advocates to work on pro bono basis, so these points were given special attention during the discussion. In general, the Argentine delegation positively assessed the initiatives of the UNBA.
At the end of the meeting, the parties agreed to develop a dialogue on other issues related to the interaction of the advocates of the two states.
